Some days, you feel that every Korean artistes are going to Japan (which is true), Thailand and Taiwan but just not Singapore. And then suddenly, they seemed to be pouring in, which of course, I’m not complaining. This month alone, we will see not 1, not 2 but 3 Korean artistes coming to this red dot of ours.
Of course, we all know Lee Min Ho will be in Singapore on 24th October (see my posts here and here. But I just received confirmed news (after flying rumours for the past few weeks) that Kang Ji Hwan and Kim Ha Neul will be in Singapore on the 28th October! Wow!
They are of course in town to promote their movie- ‘My Girlfriend is an agent‘ or ‘7th Grade Civil Servant‘.
‘My Girlfriend is an Agent‘ (hmm…title reminds me ‘My Wife is a Gangster‘. Think I prefer ‘7th Grade Civil Servant‘. ^^) has been compared to ‘Mr and Mrs Smith‘ BUT I think the only similarity is that the couples in both the movies are secret agents. Oh…there were also rumrous of Kang Ji Hwan and Kim Ha Neul being a couple after the movie. Will they end up like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? Who knows?
The clips and reviews I’ve read so far have pointed to it as a pretty decent rom-com. It did pretty well in Korea too. Of course, as I’ve yet to watch the movie, I can’t really comment too much.
Of course, it’s not the first time they’ve acted together. They first acted in the drama, ‘90 days to Love‘ and their chemistry was pretty good then. I started to take note of Kang Ji Hwan after that drama and was thorougly amused by him in ‘Capital Scandal‘. As for Kim Ha Neul- I was really, really impressed by her acting in ‘On Air.

hi snifez
I no guru lah. I just happened to have the news.
The Gala premiere on the 28th Oct normally for their sponsors and selected press. But I heard there will be some giveaways, so look out in the press.
For the press conf- obviously only for the press and media.
For the publicity event at The Heeren on the 29th Oct, it is open to the public. But you will have to be there early, early to 'chope' good seats lor.
Not sure if there's any other event. That's all I know so far. Will update when I have confirmed news.
For those who may want to know their flight details:
SQ859/28OCT schedule arrival 1420
SQ602/30OCT schedule departure 2350
